The Bad Company Of Barack Obama
CBS NEWS (believe it or not) ^ | April 13, 2008 | Andrew McCarthy

Posted on 04/13/2008 6:43:31 PM PDT by Snurple

Why is Barack Obama so comfortable around people who so despise America and its allies? Maybe it’s because they’re so comfortable around him.

He presents as the transcendent agent of “change.” Sounds platitudinous, but it’s really quite strategically vaporous. Sen. Obama is loath to get into the details of how we should change, and, as the media’s Chosen One, he hasn’t had to.

Traitors of a feather. Kind of like Jummah Cahtah and Hamas or the PLO.

I read it all and at the risk of sounding elitist, I must say, if this were read to the voting public, many, if not most, would not know or care what it means.

Hate to admit it but I believe you are right.

I have run into this anti American rhetoric among young adults, but it is still shocking in a presidential candidate!

"the same old vapid cant."

I thought this sentence had a typo and actually was referring to Hillary.

I’m glad this article appeared.

When we find a high profile politician like Barack Obama is a devoted Marxist, it seems idiotic to concern ourselves with anything else about him. There’s no reason to be curious about what a Marxist says or does—because Marxism always explains itself. Ayers, Dohrn, Wright, Michelle—of course they are Marxists. They influence him, he influences them, and so it goes.

The issue to address is how, if necessary, we endure a Marxist president?

I don’t think anybody wants to deal with this. It is beginning to remind of Arab terrorism in the 1980s and 1990s. “Oh, shucks. Maybe it’ll go away.”

He remains the agent of CHANGE.

Change for the better or for the worse?

I only like change if it is for the better!

Amazing isn’t it. For the life of me I cannot understand how this person could even be considered a serious candidate for the presidency. It would be laughable were it not so deranged.

“Why” are the Klintoons “so comfortable around people who so despise America and its allies?


Why did Billary and Hillary almost deep kiss Yasser Arafat’s wife? Why have the Klintoons opened a paypal account with the communist chinese, making regular humongous withdrawals?

It's a wrap.

For CBS to post this tells me they know Hillary is such a bad candidate, they have to have Barack representing an even "worse candidate" in order to make Hillary look "good" or sane. Certainly, Hillary isn't touching the 3rd rail of politics - race - like BO does and is. And he continues in this vein, current space time, of insulting as many groups as possible, thereby throwing voters at Hillary.

He is in fact the Dem Presidential Candidate pacer horse (aka: Agent of Change). He is an agent working for the advancement of making people throw up their hands and vote for Hillary, who they never liked; but stacked up next to him; might appear better than she actually is.

Dems are in the dog house, and we've got Pink Elephants On Parade!

Do people know that the terrorists Ayers and Dohrn are working to institute gun control through the American government disarming citizens? It boggles.

I spent a lot of time around Bill Ayers in college in the sixties (Michigan). He was a generous person, unlike the other lefties (Hayden Gitlin, etc) who were selfish bast*rds. They thought Ayers to be stupid..... well. Ayers may well have been stupid, but he had an amazing ability to speak to people and say nonsense that they would all agree with as if they were hypnotized! Obama has this quality too, but not to the same degree. I seem to remember that Ayers talked about being in DeMolay in Chicago and learned there some speaking techniques . My wife said it was like the Bene Gesserit (sp?) in Dune.

This article surprisingly omits reference to Obama's frightening communist connections.
